HP PhoneWise not mirroring phone

Operating System: Android 8 Oreo

Hey, so I just got this new laptop and it came pre-installed with the HP phonewise program. The program is tagged as being in beta, but still, since it has the button on the program I was expeting it to work.

What I can see is that the program is capable of creating a WiFi Direct conetion to the phone to mirror it like a chromecast can. Despite it telling me that this is something it can do, it can't.

My question is if this is actually not a functioning feature yet, or if this is a problem I have to solve myself (and on this note, some help on how to solve it would be nice too :).
